• FAQ (26): I installed a different version/version of Windows and now SDM will not show me updates.

  I installed a different version/version of Windows and now the SDM does not work in "Update" mode

  This can occur when some system that HP did not specifically tests with the model is installed and often happens with models and Windows Ultimate edition (or even 64-bit editions on some older models) before Windows 8 Ultimate.
  
  Because SDM detects the new operating system, but it cannot match in the SDM catalog, he (SDM) will disable mode "Update."  However, please note that you can still use SDM mode 'All products' to download your SoftPaqs by doing as follows (the Probook 4730 s is used as an example):

  1. Press the "view all products" in the SDM toolbar
  2. If a dialog box warning that "no operating system have been selected, then skip to step.
  3. Press OK to close the dialog box.
  4. Check the «Microsoft Windows 7 Professional 64 Edition»
  5. Click on the tab "language filter".
  6. 'English - International' is checked.
  7. Press the OK button.
  8. Now, expand the tree on the left side of the SDM application by selecting the following:
  9. HP Probook Notebook PC Series 4700
  10. HP Probook 4730 s Notebook PC
  11. Microsoft Windows 7 Professional Edition 64
  12. Check the box 'international - English.
  13. Press the button "find available SoftPaqs.
  14. After "things calm down", click on the button "See the last SoftPaqs" at the top right of the application of SDM.

  The latest list of the Softpaqs for your model should now be displayed. We recommend that you download all listed SoftPaqs. This whole new way SoftPaqs are released for this model will appear on the top list titled "Available SoftPaqs" display.

  To install a SoftPaq after downloading, do the SoftPaq to the ListView "Downloaded SoftPaqs" right click and select "install SoftPaq.

  Important note: most SoftPaqs listed using the method above should apply to your model, but a small number of SoftPaqs might not be applicable to your model due to the offers of different material for your model. This means that not all listed SoftPaqs will install on your model and that is normal.

• Unrecognized works drivers and windows install on and on

  Dear Toshiba

  I need some advice and help on some problems with my laptop Toshiba Satellite L550D windows 7 (updated with windows 7 I have purchesed on your part).

  I searched on several Forums (forum of toshiba responses, Microsoft MSDN Web site), but I still have a few problems, and I do not hesitate to ask for help in this way.

  Question 1: My laptop does not recognize some drivers, and it happens as follows: I check in the Device Manager, device system, ATI i/o communications processor smbus controller, shows message: "no drivers are installed for this device. When I chek 'pilot' message: ' no file necessary drivers or embarked for this device.

  When I tried to update driver, there is automatically a message that this driver is up to date and in 'Browse my computer for driver software' we goes to the location of the driver file, and then select the driver to install, the installation of the driver, then "windows has successfully updated the driver software", has finished installing the driver for the software (see above the IO... ATI).

  After that, I downloaded all the drivers available from the Toshiba site yesterday for my OS and my product and the situation is the same, it shows NO file necessary drivers or have been loaded for this device.

  The same situation is with other equipment, as follows: timer event 2) precision, 3) numeric data processor, controller 4) programmable interrput, 5) speakers, 1 memory access controller) direct, clock system 6).

  Question 2: There is also another problem, that some downloaded drivers can be installed, as follows:

  (a) software modem of toshiba 2.2.97 (SM 2297ALDO4), message: you want to allow this program to make changes... ? I click 'Yes', but nothing happens.

  (b) parts of modem select Driver utility, it appears the message "cannot find the support device.

  (c) Mobility Center tiles pilot and driver DVD player, touch pad driver synaptics, for only three drivers there is no Install Shield Wizard on the screen, and installation does not start.

  (4) Toshiba vallue added package 1.2.25, message shows, 'Try to prepare InstallShield wizard', then 'another version of this product is already installed, installation of this version cannot continue. To configure or remove the existing version of this product, use Add/Remove programs from the control panel. {FEDD27A0-B306-45EF-BF58-B527406B42C8}.

  I tried to uninstall Toshiba value added package, but it shows that Error 1612 the installation source for this product is not available. Verify that the source exists and that you can access.

  I also noticed that the existing version on my laptop is 1.2.28 (of the 06.01.2010) and this downloaded version (that cannot be installed) is 1.1.1.4.

  Question No. 3: above all that, every time I have start or restart Windows 7, it displays the message 'windows install installation preparation', short-term, then disappears, (I collapsed, then activated and restarted Windows install) and the error is not resolved.

  How to remedy?

  Thank you

  I have after reading your long post m really to wonder: what do you do?
  DERA Jelena I installed Win7 Toshiba upgrades and clean install Win7 on more than 10 different Toshiba notebooks and didn t have a problem except the feature FN keys on an old Satellite A200.

  Anyway, when you upgrade pre-installed Vista notebook with original Toshiba upgrade kit you need to just follow the instructions you have with her. Instead of the first composite (drivers) drive and it will be your system and you inform that drivers must be removed from the system before the start of the Win7 update. When the drivers and some tools from Toshiba is deleted, you must use second upgrade for Win7 upgrade disk.
  After doing this put the first disk again and check for the installation of compatible drivers.

  That is so easy to do and I don't really understand what is happening with your laptop. After reading your ad I think you've done the installation of own OS and not an upgrade. What did you do exactly? I mean after upgrade cannot be so conflicts of hardware in Device Manager.

• Dual Boot with windows XP Pro with 2 HARD drive, error on secondary windows install: "Windows did not start because of a configuration of the disk of the computer problem. Could not read the selected boot disk. Check boot path and disk hardware... »

  Hi, I recently bought a new Hitachi 1 TB internal hard drive. I wanted to do a clean install on the new drive (d), be able to dual boot my computer and leave my old 300 GB disk (C :) as the primary windows installation. After physically installing the new HARD drive, I noticed that "new hardware found" and the the brand name flashed in the bottom right corner. I thought I'd see the new hard drive in my computer, but I did not. I initialized the new HARD drive with the computer management window (right click on my computer - manage) and I also formatted in NTFS (I had to change my printer hard drive letter to assign the new HARD drive with the letter D, but I've made other changes after this step). Now, I could see and use in my main windows on the C: installation. I then installed a windows new copy XP pro with the installation CD I got for my C: but on the D: (Note: I have a Dell computer (and the Dell reinstallation CD) and my current version of windows has SP3 while the installation CD is only SP2) (I also reformatted my HARD drive during the installation of windows to NTFS)

  Now when I try to start on installing the new on my D: I get "Windows did not start because of a configuration of the disk of the computer problem. Could not read the selected boot disk. Check startup disk and hardware access path. "and another line saying to refer to manuals HARD drive and windows.

  My Boot.ini file at this time was:

  [boot loader]
  Timeout = 5
  default = multi (0) disk (0) rdisk (0) partition (2) \WINDOWS
  [operating systems]
  "multi (0) disk (0) rdisk (0) partition (2) \WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional "/ noexecute = optin/fastdetect
  "signature (ac516a5c) disk (0) rdisk (0) partition (1) \WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional own "/ noexecute = optin/fastdetect

  I looked towards the top of this help page, but for now I'm unlucky:

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/314477

  (The next steps I took by throwing from the Windows CD and go into the repair console)

  I tried to use the bootcfg /rebuild but the line to boot.ini for my secondary HARD drive still does not work.

  He gave me something like:

  [boot loader]
  Timeout = 5
  default = multi (0) disk (0) rdisk (0) partition (2) \WINDOWS
  [operating systems]
  "multi (0) disk (0) rdisk (0) partition (2) \WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional "/ noexecute = optin/fastdetect
  "signature (ac516a5c) disk (0) rdisk (1) partition (1) \WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional own "/ noexecute = optin/fastdetect

  I also tried to change the signature() to multi (0), but it did not work. (or try almost all possible permutations of disk() and rdisk() partition() 0 to 2).

  I also tried to use expand F(dvd-drive):\i386\ntkrnlmp(I_have_a_duo-core).ex_ D:\windows\system32\ntoskrnl.exe and a few other combinations, but I when I login as D:\windows simply, it fails to extend with a message like "could not develop" or C:\windows I get "restricted access".

  I have not yet tried CHKDSK/r, but since I did a clean install on a newly formatted drive... I don't think it would work.

  I've also marked the partition on the D: as active (in computer management), but it did not help me.

  I've done a first installation of windows repair, strangely, I couldn't fix this one... Still does not work...

  My default windows installation yet works very well & I see that windows has been installed on the D: but I'm ideas from how to operate the dual-boot, can someone throw me a BONE on what to do?

  Maybe try to do something with the Boot Manager (whatever it is?) Create a new partition and use it as a boot manager? I don't really want to do this, because if I made a mistake I will be unable to use my computer and dual boot should work without going through all this trouble... But I found this page: http://technet.microsoft.com/fr-fr/library/ee829686%28WS.10%29.aspx

  Could a clean install two HDD help? I hope I won't have to do...

  Someone has an idea?

  PS: I'm not such an advanced user so I need a solution step by step, thanks!

  Edit: I also noted that I can't see my new HARD drive in my BIOS... weird... SATA-0 is my old drive HARD 1 and 2 are my dvd 3-5 readers are 'off' and it doesn't seem to be anything that it is plugged in. I also have 4 bays for internal HARD disks. Now, 2 are busy.

  Edit2: I looked inside my case and enabled the good Sata in the Bios after a reboot it detected the drive correctly. Dual boot doesn't always work well... The fact that it was disable in the BIOS while I was installing the new HARD drive could change anything? Hmm...

  In case I wasn't clear enough: I had a windows XP Pro installed on my C:, bought a new hard drive and installed the same copy of windows on it (d). I think that should allow me to double boot between the two installs different. Even if for some reason I can't boot from one on my D:. Andrew, I do not understand why you so far physically disconnect the other drive, the point of the whole operation is to build a boot.ini file so that the BIOS knows that it y facilities 2 windows and you allow to choose (and not have conflicting problems between the 2 systems), someone correct me if I'm wrong? "Expand" the part of my first post made reference to one of the solutions provided by Microsoft in the first link that I have included in my previous post (but I can't seem to work).

  In addition, it is the procedure that I followed: http://www.ehow.com/how_5950826_boot-two-different-hard-drives.html

  (except I've had the first installation already done).

  Andrew "also, once a new hd is plugged on the pc & running, most of the BIOS will place (them) as 1st priority hd, set the BIOS to do this", you mean that by installing separately from windows on each unit when the other is not plugged in, I could choose what disk to start from defining their priority in the BIOS once they are all plugged back? It's too tedious (as I intend to move frequently between the 2 installs) and requires a computer to other users of the lack of computer knowledge. Unfortunately, it is not a viable option.

  EDIT: I DID IT! Hmmm... Well, I double checked in the recovery console, the path of the new HARD drive with the arc command Scan. Tried to start again with the MULTI (0) in my boot.ini and it worked... I also had my windows install CD in. Maybe that is why I could not start, windows needs the CD to complete the installation? Weird, I don't know what I did to the difficulty it... but hey, it works! Thanks for your ideas guys!

• If I had to format a hard drive, it will delete everythink including windows xp disk if yes I would be able to see all thinking when I turn on my computer, as if that were to happen I could use windows install for install windows xp

  If I had to format a hard drive, it will delete everythink including windows xp disk if yes I would be able to see all thinking when I turn on my computer, as if that were to happen I could use windows install for install windows xp

  Gaara_2k6,
  Welcome to the responses of the Forums.  The short answer to your questions are Yes and no and no.

  Depends on how you format the drive, it will delete everything on the drive.  Now, it may still be recoverable with a software specialist or moving to a data recovery company.

  If you formatted your hard drive you would not be able to start to do anything, because there would be nothing on the startup disk.  With the Windows XP CD or with the recovery media provided by the manufacturer of the PC is the only way to reinstall Windows.

• Attempt to install custom software and update Windows install.

  original title: windows installer install problem 3.1

  I use windows vista home with service pack 2 installed. I have a custom made software. Before installing this software, I need to install 4 i.e. cystal reports, dotnet, report viewer and Windows Installer 3. I was able to install the first 3, but the windows installer fails, it is said to be "saturated". I also tried MSI 4.5 but of no use. My software runs well on Windows XP. Can anyone help.

  Installation with Windows Vista version is:
  Windows install 4.0
  Version - 4.0.6000.16386
  Released with Windows Vista

  Windows Installer 3.0 is released with Windows XP SP2. It was released as a redistributable.

  You can download Windows Installer 3.0 Redistributable from the Microsoft downloads site, but it has not been created to run on Windows Vista. It will probably give an error message that you have a newer version installed.  You may need to change the program to look for a different version of Windows Installer.

  You may be able to install the software in Compatibility Mode.
  If the program is not compatible, then you try to install and run the program in compatibility mode.
  Use the following steps:
  (1) right click on the program
  2) click Properties
  3) click on the Compatibility tab
  (4) select run this program in compatibility mode and select Windows Vista or other operating system, the program has been run successfully.

  Check out the link here: make sure to run older programs in this version of Windows

• dual boot 7 and 8 is already installed on different drives

  I can't believe this is unique, but I can't find it anywhere. I got Windows 7 Professional on my C: drive and the computer is dead. I bought a new computer and it came with Windows 8. I have two drives in the system now, with 8 being the one who starts. I want to dual boot option, but each set of instructions I've seen said to implement the dualboot during the installation of OS 2 and they are both already installed. Is there a way to do this? If this isn't the case, I'll have to erase Windows 8, because I have too much to do my Pro 7 OS give it up. I have the disc for 7, if this is important; 8, of course, only came with one. Both are legal and 64-bit. Thank you.

  Hello

  It is technically required to install Windows 8 after you have performed the installation of the previous version of Windows (in your case, Windows 7), if you have a dual boot computer.

  In addition, a computer is supposed to have a dualboot when 2 operating systems are installed on different drives of the same HARD drive. In your case you use different HDD 2. Therefore, to get the Windows 7 boot option will be impossible.

  If you have additional questions on the computer, please ask your question about Windows and we will be happy to help you.
